Dog Called Grk, A

Author: Doder, JoshuaPart of a Series: Grk

When Tim is followed home by a dog on the street, he’s determined to find out who the friendly stray belongs to. But with a little investigating, Tim discovers that Grk’s owners don’t live in his town, or even in his country. Max and Natascha Raffifi, Grk’s owners, have been kidnapped with their ambassador parents by the evil Colonel Zinfandel and taken to a prison in Eastern Europe! Tim knows he’s about to undertake a mission his parents wouldn’t exactly approve of. He sneaks out of the house in the middle of the night with Grk, catches a taxi to the airport, then hops a plane to Stanislavia. Together he and Grk will have to break into a high-security prison, pilot a helicopter, and make a nail-biting run for the border in this high-octane, international adventure.

Storm, The (The Lighthouse Family)

Author: Rylant, CynthiaPart of a Series: Lighthouse Family

Life with only the sea can be lonely. Just ask Pandora and Seabold. They’ve lived most of their lives with the sea — Pandora in a lighthouse and Seabold on a boat — and they’re each quite used to being alone. Or they were.
But one day, the sea did something extraordinary: It brought Pandora and Seabold together! And even better, the sea gave them the ingredients for an adventure that neither of them had considered before-an adventure called “family.”

Hey, Al

Author: Yorinks, Arthur

Al, a janitor, and his faithful dog, Eddie, live in a single room on the West Side. They eat together, they work together, they do everything together. So what’s the problem?

Their room is crowded and cramped; their life is an endless struggle. Al and Eddie are practically at each others throats when a large and mysterious bird offers them a new life in paradise. After some debate, they decide to accept.

Transported to a gorgeous island in the sky, Al and Eddie are soon living a life of ease and luxury. But they come to find that the grass can be a little too green on the other side. After a dramatic, nearly tragic escape from their paradise prison, both man and dog agree: there really is no place like home.
Hey, Al is the winner of the 1987 Caldecott Medal.

Those Other Animals

Author: Henty, G. A.

Unedited, unabridged, original format editions with original colored cover art, these Henty books reproduce the original in careful detail.
This is a series of short essays about various animals with tongue-in-cheek derisions of human interactions with them, their own personalities, and some of the extant myths about their origins including Darwinianism. These are not historical novels, and they display some of the author’s prejudices about people and their behavior.

School of the Woods (Yesterday’s Classics)

Author: Long, William J.Part of a Series: Yesterday's Classics

Through vivid depictions of a dozen family groupings, the author demonstrates that mother animals and birds often train their young in order to supplement their natural instincts. The deer and her fawns, the black bear and her cubs, the fishhawk and her nestlings, the keen-eyed heron, the stupid porcupine, and the mighty moose are some of the animals whose teachings are described in this book.It’s easy to see human characteristics and derive moral lessons in each of the animals observed, making it a great choice for inspiration and guidance. The author takes some of the most ordinary creatures and invites the reader into their world of struggle and survival, play and communication. In the end he devotes a chapter to the process of death in probably the most beautiful way.
